One time when Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He wanted to stop at a Samaritan village. He sent messengers to prepare for His arrival, but the Samaritans were unwilling to accept Him, because He was on His way to Jerusalem. ‘When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them as Elijah did?”. But Jesus turned and rebuked them. “You do not know of what spirit you are; the Son of Man has not come to destroy souls, but to save them”’ (Luke 9, 54-56). *** It’s often the case that we think we’re acting in accordance with the will of God whereas, in fact, we’re making a ...

Is science able to tell us how the great prophet Isaiah, 700 years before the birth of Christ, foretold all the most salient events of His life? Can it explain the gift of foresight which the saints have? Can it tell us by what physical methods the saints acquired this grace? How, upon seeing a stranger for the first time they were able to understand the heart and read the thoughts of that person? How they were able to answer such a person’s questions before they’d even been asked? Let the scientists explain to us how the saints foretold the great events of history, which, over time, unfolded exactly as they had said they would.

It’s a common phenomenon all over the world that people try, by any means they can, to increase their share of wealth. Some are moved by a sense of justice, others are motivated by their own greed, some want to create equal social conditions, others struggle against those whom they deem to be ‘privileged’, while yet others want to manipulate the masses in order to exploit them later for their own purposes. These latter talk about ‘the justice of the struggle’, they stir up people’s feelings, clash with each other in an attempt to acquire and protect economic rights and perks, rarely for everyone, but usually for those defined as ‘one of us’, ‘ours’, ‘fighters’, ‘useful’ and so on. It is, ...

Angels in heaven, in glory and hymns. People in their joys and their palaces. God the Creator in a cave, in a manger, as if He were the poorest of the poor. What humility on the part of Jesus.

Blessed are they who clothe themselves in it; they’ll be given inexpressible spiritual comeliness. Pride and egotism, on the other hand, are the vilest of the passions.
